Well, I'll give a contrary to your contrary. I started a year late (I begged my parents not to make me go to school yet), and I got straight A's through high school and have always been very self directed.
The point is, this is a study, our anecdotes are not.
- ThomPete 11y agoA study which most probably might as well have concluded that it doesent really matter since the objective is to determine selfregulation which is so vague and slippery a term its not even funny.
- oso2k 11y agoDing ding! Winner winner, chicken dinner! As I said earlier: "I do not think you measured what you think you measured."
- steven2012 11y agoYour anecdotal experience isn't contrary to the parent post's anecdotal experience. He never said that starting late hurt anyone's academic potential, all he said was that starting early doesn't hurt (which I believe, since I also started a year earlier as did my sister and my wife).
